It helps to protect our property values and quality of life by ensuring that new developments and other improvements are compatible with the surrounding community and neighborhood. Many home and property improvements, such as building an addition, installing a pool, adding a deck or building a shed, require a zoning certificate. Please note that while some improvements do not require a zoning certificate, they do require a building permit, which can be obtained from Montgomery County. For more information, contact the county at (937) 225-4622.

Property Maintenance CodeHarrison Township’s property maintenance code allows us to maintain property values and the appearance of our community by establishing minimum standards for the upkeep of businesses, houses, yards and vacant lots. The most common violations are junk cars, deteriorating roofs, trash and debris, and overgrown grass or weeds. The emphasis in enforcing the code is to work with the property owner to gain compliance. Three code enforcement officers share the responsibilities in this area.
Well Field Protection ProgramHarrison Township is partly located in the Maimi Valley Well Field Protection area. We are charged with ensuring this area remains contamination free. We work with the businesses located in this area to ensure compliance with well field regulations.
